Having money but with nothing to buy is a high class problem. Put the money aside, add to it, and be ready when you seem something you want.

This is actually not a bad thing to think about,,,
I certainly wouldn't sell everything,,,
But I could pare back a bit.
In that very hypothetical scenario,,,
I would keep all of the S&W handguns I have,,,
They are the favorites I take to the range most often.
The Rossi, Charter, H&R, and a few others revolvers could go away,,,
I like owning them but they would not be mourned too much.
I would have a difficult time choosing any disposable semi's.
There aren't any of them that weren't deliberately chosen to fit a niche,,,
Where as many revolvers were purchases of opportunity.
Oh well, this is very hypothetical so I can speculate away.
But I have listened to the good advice and have decided,,,
I'll just sock the money away for later,,,
Something will soon catch my eye,,,
And the money will be there for it.

I have a little cash in hand and a few things I am willing to let go. I have seen quite a few things I'd like to own, but none of it at prices I am willing to pay.
I've had the situation (problem?) for a few shows lately, last month it (the solution) showed up in the form of a Magnum Research Lone Eagle. I'd never handled one before, didn't even know I'd ever want one, but there it was, a 7mm-08 with brake installed, whispering "try me...." I've had a couple of boxes of R-P brass for a few years - range scrounge - and nothing in that caliber, other components no problem, so you can guess the rest of the story. Hornady's free bullet offer made the die purchase attractive, and I picked up an Ultradot 4 to mount on it - had rings already too - and less than a month later I'm 40 rounds into seeing what it can do. Recoil is surprisingly easy to take, but the 4moa dot that's the smallest in the red dot is too big for me, even at 50 yards, so next is an EER scope with a finer reticle to try at 100 or further.
Isn't that what it's all about?
PS The bullets even showed up two days ago --- quicker than the last couple of times I've used the offer!!

Aarond... Im also in the same boat as you. I go into a gun shop, look around, and dont see anything I cant live without. I just purchased one of the last ones I really wanted, a Bulldog in 44 Special. Im deciding what to buy my wife. She wants a snub, but something with little recoil. I want her to have a centerfire, for reliability. Im looking at 32s. I would really like a Charter Arms Patriot snub in 327 Federal Magnum. She could shoot the lighter 32 rounds at the range, then load it with 327 for defense. Its hard finding a 327 snub.
